Hey everyone,

Well my brother hit the flat part of a gutter with one of his volks and bent the lip of the wheel in a bit and the usual gutter rash crap.

Anyways been searching all day and all the other shops in old threads have closed. (except for that one in thornleigh, which is a last resort)

One shop wants to charge $350 to repair it alone, I told him to F*** off.

I dont want to get the wheel sprayed just repaired. I will get it powdercoated later myself.

If anyone can tell me somewhere to go it will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

David

haven't used them but got some rough quotes with excellent prices and have heard nothing but excellent reviews. Only thing is that you need to take the tyre off and just drop off the rim/s. They do a lot of rims/wheels but they do all type of repairs and are not a wheel place.

Think they're still there. Got a quote a couple months ago for all 4 to fix gutter rash and powdercoat any colour for around 800. think its a good price but havent shopped around.

Didnt end up getting it done due to no money :D lol

They fixed my old TE37 when I bent it hard. I can't remember how much he charged, but considering a few places said it was unrepairable it was still better value than buying a new wheel.

Hey mate.

I took my buckled wheel to magman punchbowl, it was pretty bad due to a accident.

Got it fixed for $120 only thing was that he couldn't get the inner lip 100% because there was no room for tools to get in.

The wheel was a 3 piece and the centre was too hard to take apart.

Regarless I'm happy with the job

Take it down there and see what he says

yeah magman is pretty cheap .. quoted $200 to fix severe gutter rash on 2 of my wheels. He was quite busy when I went ..like a 2 week wait so I never ended up doing it. Might give him a call soon and book it in.

Does anyone know if cast wheels that have been slightly buckled from hitting a curb can be fixed?? When I had my wheels balanzed by JAX they said one of the wheels couldn't be perfectly balanced with weights due to it but that it wasn't serious.. just that it was always a little unbalanced

I smashed two of my wheels once, the front one looked like pacman after it crunched the gutter.

Both came back like brand new. Couldnt believe they fixed them.

They were 2 piece Volk GTP.

Done at Spot On wheels near Dapto.

    • I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.
    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
